Or is there a hidden "dumpster" forum only mods can see that you put old threads in?
You got it. We used to just delete them outright, but then when we'd have problems with some people, it'd be hard to keep track of how many times they'd do something, what exactly was said, etc.
I think it's more fair in the long run to do it this way, to be honest... if you're going to be banned for something, including previous offenses, it's only fair that the original "evidence" is available if needed. It started with this one member that'd always make new sites (often having little or nothing to do with this stuff) and would ALWAYS make a post advertising it. This happened every month, about. Not only that, but he'd also make new accounts. If we deleted the post outright, we'd lose an IP address posted from to be able to know if it's the same person.
I posted it in the programming section (what is now the computer forum).
